| Speed to finished wall | Digital workflow + on-wall production—days, not hand-painting weeks. | Fast when design is simple; complex gradients can require multiple panels. | Authentic craft; timeline scales with artist availability and complexity. | Depends on operator skill; mistakes are costly on large surfaces. |
|---|
| Color fidelity & gradients | Color-managed RIP; strong for brand gradients and photography at scale. | Excellent solids; some gradients show seams or lamination tradeoffs. | Organic blending; may deviate slightly from Pantone-perfect matches. | Variable; often limited by file prep and onsite conditions. |
|---|
| Max height & access | Tall installs with planned lifts/scaffold; coordinated with building teams. | Similar access needs; panel seams increase with height. | May require extended lifts for large façades. | Equipment limits frequently cap safe height. |
|---|
| Design support | Partners with your agency or builds print-ready art in-house. | Often print-only unless shop retains designers. | Custom artwork is the core deliverable. | You source files and own outcomes. |
|---|
| Durability aftercare | Protective finishes specified to traffic; documented care guides. | Durable when specified correctly; edges can lift in dirty installs. | Touch-up tied to artist schedule and travel. | Varies widely by ink/media; often minimal warranty. |
